Life is funny sometimes

Wow, haven't posted here in awhile, but a few things have been happening.


As I was coasting my flickr home page, I noticed that one of my photos that I took at Disney's California Adventure had gotten a posting:

"Huh?" Was my initial reaction. Here's the photo, by the way:


Yep, that's me, in all my slouchy glory, leaning up against a huge candy corn.

This was what that link linked to:


Okay, so I guess it was a for a candy corn Halloween recipe. But uh, hello, that is ME in that picture. Yeesh. In the comments, a user "Patti" asked where that candy corn was from, and "Carl", the writer of the blog post, thought it was from Washington, DC!!? Um...okay. So this is my exact post in response, in the comments:

"Hi Carl and Patti, and anyone else reading this blog,

That is ME in the photo! What a surprise to see it on this website…thanks for linking back to my flickr page, although, I would appreciate if next time, Carl, to please ask me first before putting up one of my photos on your site. I would appreciate that.

“DCA” is referring to Disney’s California Adventure, across the way from the original Disneyland. They have these big letters that spell out “CALIFORNIA” in the front of the turnstiles. During Halloween, they “candy corn” the letters. So, I am leaning against the “A” at the end of “CALIFORNIA”. Hope that clears things up Patti."

So, pretty weird. I guess this is a lesson to everyone...don't be too surprised if people yoink your pictures. I thought it was common courtesy to ask, ESPECIALLY if my FULL LIKENESS is being used, but some people don't always know "netiquette".

I was in San Jose a week ago, to celebrate my cousin Burgess getting married, and to see my newborn cousin! It was a really nice wedding, it was at a place called Blackhawk Country Club in Danville, CA. A very classic, traditional wedding, and I got to see a lot of family members that I hadn't seen in awhile.
Judy and Burgess, from where I was sitting. They are such an awesome, fun couple. Everyone was very happy for them!

The funny part of the wedding ceremony was that when the bridal party would walk by, my grandpa and my aunt would start clapping. Every time, after they would pass by. I had to take a picture of it...I wonder if they will do the same for my wedding??

Here's me and Owen at the dinner table, I think we're waiting to be called up for the buffet line so we were taking some random pictures.

Later in the week, the day I was headed back to LA by plane, I hung out with Judy, and an old Russian dude decided to run a red light. Into us. Luckily, Judy saw him out of the corner of her eye, braked and no one was hurt, thankfully. She explains it all in detail on her blog post. With pictures. So yeah, if you are interested read what she said, I couldn't have done any better.

After all this, I still had places to go people to see! My aunt was recovering in the hospital after giving birth to my new baby cousin, Nolan, so we went to visit! Here he is...

He's a bit sleepy. My Aunt Christine did all the work though!!

And here I am holding him. He half opened his eyes when I picked him up, but immediately fell asleep again.

All in all, it was a good trip home. Wish I had more time to stay.

Life in a nutshell for now...and the holidays are coming up too, agh.
